2005: #6 – D is for Deadbeat (Sue Grafton)

February 9, 2005January 14, 2021

I also managed to finish book number 6 in the hotel last night. It was Sue Grafton’s D is for Deadbeat, the fourth book in her Alphabet/Kinsey Millhone Mystery series. These books are quick reads. The plots aren’t overly complex, they’re just good little mystery stories. It’s the kind of book I consider a “beach read”. I have the rest of these books (up to

2005: #5 – The Reptile Room (Lemony Snicket)

February 9, 2005January 14, 2021

Thanks to my 8 hour round trip to Richmond for a meeting (yes, I’m blogging in the middle of it now!), I’ve managed to knock off the next Lemony Snicket A Series of Unforunate Events book — Book the Second, The Reptile Room. Again, the book was quite good. I’m starting to get into them. One especially charming technique he uses is the use of

2005: #4 – The Bad Beginning (Lemony Snicket)

Which has led to book number 4 being the first book in Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events — The Bad Beginning. One of the first things you hear in this book is that there is no happy ending, there is

2005: #3 – 3rd Degree (James Patterson & Andrew Gross)

February 6, 2005January 14, 2021

That was a quick read! Book #3 is 3rd Degree, by James Patterson. This is the 3rd book in his Women’s Murder Club series. Like the rest of Patterson’s books, this was a very quick read. He really is the master of short chapters and large print. But, it entertained me for the 5 hours or so it took me to read it, so I

I really liked the heart of this book. I loved April and her unapologetic geekiness, and I liked what Dade has to say about body positivity, and that she wrote a male protagonist that walks the talk. What I wasn’t expecting was just how detailed into the fanfiction subculture this was going to go. It’s one of the few times I’ve started a book and
